In the subway of love
Light ebbs as the netherworld resumes
Bleak denizens of deeper worlds
Dance blearily in stunted curls
In the subway of love
Heat rises as the city rushes down
Reeling from cacophonies of sound
In the subway of dreams
Standing naked on the tracks of fear
Blinding headlamp of our madness nearing
In the subway of love
Drunken brakeman asleep there on his throne
Slamming headlong thru the mausoleums of stone
Dont you understand
Time wont keep and a love wont sleep
When the crosstown traffic casts a shroud
Burst aflame in an acrid cloud but
Dont you understand
Riding shotgun emotions crawl and crowd
Through the turnstiles of night
In the subway of love
In the subway of love
Mass transit for our souls
Herding victims to the dragons mouth
Stygian ferryman of hearts gone south
In the subway of dreams
Pallid daylight arrests those bitter sins
Till the dark come again
In the subway of love
Dont you understand
Time wont keep and a love wont sleep
And the crosstown traffics all mislaid
Take a cab if you must be saved but
Till the night comes again
In the subway of love
